    I stayed up late just to watch Team GH only to see what looked like ill-fitting maxi skirts on our sportswomen.

    Did the designer think they were going to Sochi in the Winter?

    It was Rio de Janeiro for goodness sake!!!

    You just a hater. The contingent look good...very good...most competitors were in whatever. That don't mean we should copy. We came with our own style.

  • $aint Ghfuo: Mediocrity Stinks Cuuuhh 7 years ago

    The skirts were too long. It's hot so ols make the skirts a little short or maybe like slit. And give the ladies some beads to wear. The men must wear fedoras and gold chains .........we.want medals oooo

  • Yaa Nkosuo 7 years ago

    Man! Martha Bissau is not in the team... Couldn't even qualify in all African games.... Her time was soo bad that she couldn't make the Olympic time for qualification

    Why don't you give us a list of the athletes?

  • Sankofa 7 years ago

    We have had four years to prepare towards the Olympic Games.

    In previous Games our athletes have been resplendent in their kente.

    Why this mish-mash of costumes this time round? And what were those foreigners doing in t ...

    Let's have the names of our athletes and the events they are taking part in. I am looking at the arms of the ladies and they don't even look like the arms of athletes. I don't see any muscles on their arms. Athletes don't ...

    FYI

  • OSEI TUTU TAWIAH 7 years ago

    Ghana is Ghana. We don't have Ghana in different languages like Ivory Coast. How do the Brazilians change Ghana to Gana in Portuguese? Please stop misleading people. This is just an embarrassing goof.

  • Banana 7 years ago

    Thank u for your clarification

  • KofiBoy 7 years ago

    "Ghana" may be the official spelling as well as Ghanaians and English speaking around the world are concerned, but in other languages the spelling and pronunciation differs, due to differing rules on grammatical structures, f ...

    Wow! How can you be so ignorant?

  • Yaa Nkosuo 7 years ago

    Good thing you spotted & have corrected,"Banana" But yeah I noticed they had the Portuguese spelling for the countries.

  • Macho 7 years ago

    Why can't Gh be in a uniform Kente. Big shame.

  • Y3l3 tutui 7 years ago

    The colors were allover the place. Where are designers in Ghana? I was disappointed in what I saw!

  • Esi 7 years ago

    I don't even mind the uniformity of the kente as much as the fact that they are wearing fake kente cloth from China.

  • Ada Boy 7 years ago

    What you guys dont fathom is the unworkable texture of our native Kente Cloth! We have become a nation of finger pointers with very little or no understanding at all of the arguments that we have picked on.Chill out!

  • $aint Ghfuo: Mediocrity Stinks Cuuuhh 7 years ago

    Goc, why fake kente from.china?? Why support this foolishness? Ebei!

  • kobby( US) 7 years ago

    For a moment i thought my eyes were deciving me when i saw GHANA displayed "GANA" and kept wondering how all those representing the country couldn't see this! Must this also go wrong and be overlooked? I feel sorry for my bel ...

    Go and compete not that wishy-washy attitude as usual.Selfies do not win medals.

  • Yaa Nkosuo 7 years ago

    Kente print in Green, red, and yellow would have been nicer. We ALL love our country but to make it even better for ALL, let us support them by correcting them positively
